While playing tracks from his new, critically acclaimed solo album his live set also includes some of the Oasis classics which for many defined an era.

The other bands announced today highlight the broad appeal of TRNSMT, with last year's event featuring live acts from completely opposite ends of the musical spectrum, from Grime artist Stormzy to the big arena sound of Scottish rock gods, Biffy Clyro.

Looking at this year's acts, the Courteeners have been described as “One of the best live British bands of the moment” by Clash Music and are huge festival favourites. Female-fronted alt-rock outfit Wolf Alice recently hit number two in the charts and played two huge, sold out shows at the Barrowlands. Meanwhile Grime artist J Hus has been nominated for four MOBO awards and is seen as the breakthrough star of today’s rap scene.

Like Liam Gallagher, all three will play Saturday June 30.

“We’re absolutely thrilled to announce TRNSMT 2018’s line-up," said Geoff Ellis, head of DF Concerts. "All four bands are testament to the brilliant British music scene right now and will offer an amazing day of music for TRNSMT fans on 30th June.

“It’s set to be a brilliant summer of music. We’re bringing some of the best world-class artists to Glasgow Green, with many more exciting announcements still to come.

"TRNSMT’s outstanding audience in July this year showed the world why TRNSMT should be central to the festival music calendar. Much like in 2017, TRNSMT will showcase some of the best up and coming talent in the UK, mixed with world-class artists so stay tuned as there’s so much more to come!”
